CHAPTER I
PRELIMINARY
A. Background work
Culture is a thing that hereditary to a country,to a component
and to a group of people.We called as the culture our religion,
habitats, customs and regulations ,technology and life style.There is a
main important thing in culture.It is traditional folk arts.Folk music is
promenade all the cultural elements witch are contained in a
culture.It is different from a breed to breed, country to a country .We
can measure about country about a breed by observing their folk
music.
Sri Lanka is country that have a nobel culture.Sinhalese has a
cogent culture among all the country of the world.As a Srilankan
citizen I’m really proud to be a Sinhaese.This is my mother country.So
Srilankan traditional elements are very close to my life.I tried to do my
creation with all the experiences that I got during my life time and the
information about our villager’s life style that I collected from my
researches.
Page 10
10
When I talking about Srilankan Sinhala people today we can
see some changes are outcroped.Today society is very busy because of
this tidy schedule and the modernization of the world.Today we can
see educated society.There is a different between the society that I’m
going to conjure from my creation and today’s society. Today so many
cultural elements are fading away from our lives because of this
modernization and globalization.All the people are money minded.So
our cultural and essential values also fading away from our lives.
In ancient times Srilankan people had a nobel folk
music.Sinhalese follw customs and regulations from their birth to
deth.We can see customs and regulations witch are related with folk
music.Today also we can these customs a following by people, but
today they don’t using the folk music witch are related to this cutoms.
Today Srilankan folk music has divided in to some parts by
academicians. They are ;
-Mehe Gee (It is a thing that singing during they engaging to a
activity)
-Samaaja Gee (These are the songs that related with day today
life activities.)
Page 11
11
-Keli Gee (These songs are singing only for appreciation.)
When we are talking about the things that under number 01
Mehe Gee , it has a wide range of information.Mehe gee is a thing that
sung by people while they were engaging with an industry.These
songs based on several desiderata.Our main economical industry was
agriculture.From ancient times our Srilankan people did chena
cultivation and agriculture.So there were so many folk songs wich is
related to cultivating paddyfields.
There is a process witch is related to cultivating paddyfields.
Such as ; preparing the soil, planting rice plants , weeding , reaping ,
and threshing the paddy field.Our peasantry did this process
collectively by helping to each others.They sing folk songs while they
working in the paddy field.Provinsionaly these folk songs has several
names.As an example the folk songs wich are singing during weeding,
it called as “Nelum Kavi”. During cultivating paddy field, it called
as “Goyam Kavi”.During farmers looking after their chena
cultivation to protect it from harmful animals such as
elephants…etc..in the chalet that they build up it on a top of a tree,
they sung folk songs to avoid from sleeping and tiredness,We called as
Page 12
12
“ Pel Kavi”.We called as “Adahera” the folk songs wich are sing
during threshing paddy.These songs are different from melody ,
rythem , length and musical interval.
And there are some folk songs witch are coming under the topic
of Mehe Gee.They are bullock cart songs, raft songs ,mine songs and
Bambara Kavi.Our ancient people used carts for their
transportation.And they used carts for transport their economical
goods.It was very arduous thing.Because it’s really hard to walk alone
the gravel narrow roads.When they transporting through copse, they
sung cart songs to avoid from tiredness and lonlyness.
There is a folk songs called raft songs.In ancient times villagers
doesn’t have bridges to walk through rivers. Our villagers used rafts
as a bearer to transport through the river.This thing also very
dangerous.And also it’s a grueling activity.There was persons to ride
the rafts.This person sung raft songs during the transportation.We
can see mining also in Sri Lanka from ancient times.Today also we
can see it in Sri Lanka in a developed level.We can devided in to two
parts.They are black lead and gems.We called as mine songs , “Pathal
Kavi” ,the folk songs witch are sung by villagers during they working
in the mine.
Page 13
13
We can introduce our second variety as social songs.There are some
varieties under social songs.
Lullabies(These songs are sing to sleep babies)
Thunsarane Kavi (These songs are related to
Buddhism)
Welapum Kavi (These songs are sung during
sorrowful times)
Ceremonial Dances(This thing is doing to cure
diseases)
Lullabies is a thing that universal to the whole world.Because
every mother feel the same feeling about her baby.It is love and
kindness.Our past people sung songs witch are about their loving
feelings about their babies.We called it as lullabies.We can introduce
lullabies as a thing that coming from ancient times and a thing that
existing today also.The next thing that I’m going to demonstrate is
Thun Sarane Kavi.It is related to Buddhism.There are 75% Buddhist
people among Srilankan people.In ancient times our Buddhist
devotees walked into several sacred places to worship.During their
pilgrimage they sung thun sarane kavi.We can learn to spend a pure
lifestyle by observing these songs.
Page 14
14
The other thing that I’m going to clarify is Welapum Kavi.Welapum
Kavi is a thing that sung during cadaverous situations.In ancient
times these songs sung in funeral houses.These songs are getting a
sorrowful coquetry.These song’s belles lettres is Lord Buddha’s 550
egos.As examples ; Sandakinduru Jathakaya, Wessanthara
Jathakaya ,and Yashodharaawatha. I think they tried to realize the
thruth of life.
The other thing that coming under the topic of social songs
ceremonial dances.From ancient times our villagers had face different
types of diseases and accidents.Our villagers believed that these
things are happeninig because of imperceptible forces.They believed
that they can avoid from these things by having ceremonial dances.So
here they held ceremonial dances for the patient.They performed
dances,singings and recticals also.They held this thing to get blessing
of the god too.
After social songs, I’m going to describe about Keli Gee.We can
introduce keli gee as a elaborate thing in Srilankan culture.Because it
is circumstantial event mixed with dancing,singing and rectical.Keli
Gee is a thing that singing during playing games.These songs are
created only for appreciation.They sung these songs during the period
Page 15
15
of Sinhala and Hindu new year and the festival of aluthsahal
mangalya.Aluth Sahal Mangalya is a festival that celebrating by
villagers to celebrate the happiness of cutting harvest and offering it
to Lord Buddha.They normally held this event in the paddy field,witch
is cut down their harvest.This festival is specially for young fellows
and children.In this occasion we can see several folk dances such as ;
kolam (masquerade), nadagam , and giridevi dance.
Festival.Such as ankeliya , kamba adeema , kottapora ,riding
boats ,olinda keliya and riding carts…etc.. And our Sinhala new year
is celebrating by people on the month of April.They are celebrating
distinctly this Bak Maha Ulela.We can so many competitions in this.
They sing songs during this competitions.And there are so
many circumstantial items also.They swinging with swings, playing
tambourines and singing raban kavi and onchili waaram.And we can
see lee keli dancings , kalagedi dancings , kulu dancings and etc..in
this festival.
When I’m talking about above mentioned singings and cultural
events, they are different from circumstance of singings and
applicable workings.There some main important objectives of this
singings.They are ; to avoid from tiredness and loneliness and avoid
Page 16
16
from the arduous of working.As an example we can introduce mehe
gee.The other thing that the objective of performing this folk songs ,
they want to aegis their own lives.As examples they used these songs
to avoid from harmful animals who are coming to their cultivation and
to be safety when they are travelling through wild jungles.They passed
messages by using these pal kavi.As an example when villagers
working at the cultivation in night,if they had to face to an accident,
they pass the message to their wife and family members by using this
kind of pal kavi.It’s a good communication method.And family
mambers make sure about their family member by hearing these
songs in night.Specially about his safety.
These folk songs has a literary and musical background.When
I’m talking about it these songs are created by our villagers.The
things that underlying of these folk songs are the feelings of our
villagers.They have created their own feelings witch are coming their
day today life into folk songs.So these folk songs are created by a very
simple language style.When I’m talking about these song’s melody, it’s
created into short melodies.These folk songs has 5 words oftenly
.each line.They sing each line on a same strain.But sometimes they
sing it on several strains. It has created in different kind of rythems
Page 17
17
and tempo.From ancient times people used different kind of drums
and an instrument called bummediya.
As I mentioned before, I have created a creation with my
information that I collected from my researches.As a result of that I
have created a new creation with dancing items , singing items and
recitcal.
There are few meanings to the word of “Adaheraya”.This word
is coming from our Sinhala folk society.”Adaheraya” is a thing that
presenting a happening chain by a song.Our ancient people called
this as Adaheraya.And also in ancient times our villagers use Adahera
to pass messages to villagers.And our villagers communicate with
cattles while they were working at the paddyfield.It also called as
Adaheraya.When everyone hearing this word , suddenly they
remember our Srilankan culture which are related with our folk
society and folk arts.So my creation also combinding with so many
folk arts in Sri Lanka.I used the name of Adaheraya for my creation.
Page 18

B.Conversation Referral
I have to do researches in different areas to create this
creation.I was born in the Sinhala society also.So this traditional art
is not unfamiliar to me as a Srilankan.As an example the stanzas
wich are related to Buddhism,i usualy sing this stanzas and i can
hear these things also.So there are so many experiences that i have
get from this society and culture.
But I should research about our traditional folk music. Because
it already fade away from our lives.As a graduate i hav done so many
researches about our folk music industry. We collect information
before we went to the research area.We are conforming to the society
that we are researching and we collect the most correct information.
So i also in accordace with several societies and collected most
correct informtion.
I was really interested in folk music from my childhood. I have
participated so many cultural festivals because of my interesting.
Actually it is one of my hobbies. I have participated for festivals wich
are related to Buddhism. As an example I have participated for
perehera and bakmaha ulela it is known as Sinhala and Hindu new
year.I inqure about their folk musics, folk dances while I watching
Page 19
19
these kind of things. Sometimes I went to their houses to meet that
people and probe about their performances. I have so many
information that i have collected by intrviewing the people and
researching about their lives.
I went to village areas and having interviews with villagers and I
collected information about their culture. Meemure is a village that
not modified and globalised.It’s a very rural village. And it’s very
difficult to go there. Because there are no roads to drive the vehicle.
Their main occupation is agriculture.They are doing chena
cultivation, paddyfield cultivation. They are doing dry farming. They
are travelling by carts and they travell their harvest by cart.They
haven’t electricity also. They allow our village customs and traditions
in today also. These people are singing while they are working at the
paddyfield. I recorded these singings and I collected so many
information by having interviews with this people.
I met a special person while I’m doing my research in this
village. His name is Ukkubanda.He is a farmer since 50 years.He has
so many experiences in farming.He has so many cow calls. I was able
to learn about the rythem,beats and about the singing from him. I will
use some cow calls that i learned from him for my creation.
Page 20
20
And also this people sing Pal Kavi during the night time,while
they are protecting their harvest by satting on a truss on the top of
the trees.They singing this to beware from sleep. I was able to learn
some pal kavi also from this person. I have heard this pal kavi
before.But I never haven’t heard this type of singings.
I went to Bogala graphite mine for my researches. This is a very
huge mine and it commings from our ancient times. These people’s
occupation is graphite industry. They doing this industry traditionaly.
This mine is spreaded inside in to the earth. Actually it is a risky job.
These people are trying to evade their tiredness by singing folk songs.
I feel that the young generation who working in this mine,they haven’t
appropriate knowlage about Pathal Kavi. But the older generation
who working in this mine has a huge knowlage about pathal kavi. I
collected so many information about Pathal Kavi (mine songs) by
having interviews with them.
I went to the villege named Udagama wich is located in Kandy
district in Sri Lanka to collect information about our Srilankan
hereditary tambourine playing methods. So there were so many
traditional tambourine players and tambourine makers. These people
are comming from our ancient tambourine players who worked at the
Page 21
21
royal palace. They so many raban kavi and raban pada with them. I
was able to get so many information about playing tambourines and
folk music by having interviews with very old ladies Dingiri Manike
and Kamalawathi.
I discussed with some persons about some problems. Because I
wanted a more clarification about how to this creation,how to imitate
our singing parts and how to performe and socialized these original
folk songs comforming to our modern society. I discussed with Mr.
Saman Panapitiya who is a lecturer of the University Of Visual And
Performing Arts.
And also I discussed with Mr.Mahinda Alupana, he is a
researcher of folk music industry. I discussed with him about the
places wich i’m going to conduct my researches. I collected
information about their life style,occupations and customs and
traditions from him. Because it will help me to comforming to the
society that i’m going to research. So I created my creation So I
created my creation Adaheraya with the help of my researches in
serveral areas in Sri Lanka.
Page 22

C.Target and Stability
As Srilankan Sinhalese we have a proud ancient history because
of our great people.My hope to protect our traditional art,music
and tradition wich are protected by our ancient ansectors from
generation to a generation.Because our future generation should
know about our traditional things.
And also i hope to introduce our traditional art to the world by this
creation.That is my main concept.Because there are so many
hereditary things in our traditional music industry.By doing this
kind of creation i can publish our traditional music in all arround
the world.Then all the members will pay their attention for our
traditional folk musical industry.
Today Sri Lanka also a devoloping country as the countries of the
world. Some of our villages in Sri Lanka also has devoloped. So our
educational status also in a high level in today.So our traditional
folk music have fade away from our lives.However from our
traditional evolution our traditional folk song has been fade away
from our lives.It has been fade away from our day today
usage.Nowadays folk music is just a subject.So this concert would
Page 23
23
be a great place to disclose our traditional folk music to this
generation.
Sometimes we can see our essential values are declined in this
modern society.Because in this modern busy society people have
reclegeted their essential values and good habitates.Helping to
each others, respecting each others,protecting our religious values,
respecting to our parents are our essential values,but today our
modern and globalised people are declined these things.But our
ansectors are the people who protected our values from a
generation to nother generation.Our customs and traditions,our
essential values are contained in our traditional folk songs.So my
intention is to spread our essential values and make our humanity
in to a noble status.
And the children who living in our modern society haven’t any idea
about their essential values or our tradition.They have addicted to
new generation’s music.But they don’t know anything about our
ancient valubale traditional music. So my intention is to teach our
children about our folk music,folk dancing,and our traditional
customs.
Page 24
24
And my next intention is to do a new creation with my musical
knowlage by adding several musical theories and different kind of
folk musical theories.
From my researches i have found so many rare folk music.So i can
publish these things also through my creation
Srilanka community began rarely listen to folk songs, especially
through television media that have not raised the local values in its
programs. The existence of this work, is expected to encourage a
television station in Sri Lanka that are interested in introducing
and developing a local value, particularly people in particular.
Educational institutions in Sri Lanka has not positioned the arts
area became the main subjects. It can be seen from those who only
get one chance to know the local arts throughout the week. So, the
main purpose of the making of this work is to spread the folk arts
to the public in Sri Lanka.

PERFORMANCE OF WORKS
A. Synopsis
This work, entitled "ADAHARAY" which means the delivery of
messages through song. The main story is presented is about events
or community activities Sinhala sequentially from birth to death
based on the story of an old tradition.
Social reality can be translated from the spirit of the community
with a rural background in the Sinhala community. Besides this work
presents the idioms of traditional music or art that has existed in Sri
Lanka. The combination of new elements with the intention of
presenting the variety and novelty of the old art.
B. Arrangement of the stage
The creation that i have mentioned above is flow like a drama.
But it has gaetherd to each one. Our traditional villager’s life style is
spresding by my creation. So i selected a place witch is just like our
traditional village,but actually it is an artificial village. Ape Gama wich
is located in Battharamulla premisess is the place that i’m using for
this.Ape Gama created in Colombo because,people can come and visit
Page 28
67
this and get ideas about our ansectors life style.We can see houses
that build by clay,bridges,carts and so many village life style’s
things.So i also thaught to performe my creation in the outdoor.I will
use all the spaces arround this area for my creation,sutch as;Attaala
,it is a house that have build up on trees,carts and paddy fields.I hope
to use the space that arrounded us as the stage for my creation.I wish
to use 6 drums,2 flutes,2 violens,1 chellow,1 sitar.1 esraj and 1
tabilow for my mucical group and i will resrve a place to sit them from
the begining to last.
Singing crew also have a place to performe.But some of them
are comming from differnt areas when they are performing their
creation.As an example some of our members are singing on the
Attala ,the houses wich are build on the top of trees,in carts and in
paddy field .They act these things as their actual life.So i’m not doing
heavy decorations on the stage because i think it is not compulsary
for my creation,and i hope to do some small decorations.And i hope to
performe this creation in the evening.So lightning is a main thing that
i should pay my attention.
I hope to kindle torchs in the area.Because our ansectors didn’t
use the electricity,they only used the torchs and lamps.but here i
Page 29
68
wish to use lightning system also.Because we need laghtning system
to acute our moments.Because it will assist to do it.And i will do the
lightning without any disturbing to the village enviorenment.
Our next importent thing is as this is a musial program,we
should pay much attention to our sound system,We should use
crystal sound clear system.So i think Sanka Sounds can do it in a
better way.Because Sanka Sound is a company that is took a major
part in our Srilankan outdoor musical performences.They are using
high quality microphones,mixers,monitors and speackers for their
productions.They use follow implements also;
Me and sound administrator went to the place that i’m going
to performe my creation and discuss about the creation and my
plans.
When i’m talking about my creation;i selected all the costumes
to maching to my theme.I’m using our traditional sutch as
sarong,redda and hattaya , some of them are modified.Because i have
selected it in several colors wich are maching to the stage.And also i
hope to use lounge wair for costumes.And also i will use our
Srilankan traditional wair kandiyan saree.And i will wair
bangles,earrings and necklaces as accssoriesI will do the dressins and
Page 30
69
makeup to maching to our perfomences and stage.And the members
of the dancing crew will dressed by our traditional costumes.
In my creation i hope to do all the stage decorations,dressing
and makeup,costumes and everything in a correct path.
C. Description Location
I hope to performe my creation in Sri Lanka.I have to think
about a place to performe my creation when i’m thinking about the
topic of my creation and the structure of my creation.My creation is a
thing that spreding our traditional values.It just like drama that
about our villagers day today life style.So i wish to performe this
creation in outdoor because of this case.Because i can performe it
acutely in outdoor.
So i think ‘Ape Gama’ wich is located in the Capital city of Sri
lanka Colombo district,Battharamulla would be the best place to
performe my creation.It is spreded in 20 acres.It was created by our
Ministry Of Traditional Affairs in Sri Lanka.In this place our past
villager’s life style has recreated.The main aim of this thing is our
traditional life style has fade away from our lives today,because of this
globalization.So Ape Gama is a good place to get a knowlage about
Page 31
70
our past ansector’s day today life style and it is a good place to get the
feeling of living in a village for our busy people.So i think this would
be the greatest place to performe my creation.Because in this place all
the things that i have intend about my creation are reflecting in this
place.
In this place we can see the houses wich are used b y our
ansectors,their occupational industries,their plantations,our ancient
travelling methods.I hope to use a part of this Ape Gama to performe
my creation.

D. Duration Work
My full creation will one half hours.My new creation just like a
drama.There are dancing items,singing items are contained in this
drama.And i have contained some dialogs in this play.And sometimes
time duration will be change.Our Sinhala trditional folk music ,folk
art repulsioning with in one and half hours is actually not
sufficient.But i have created it to cover all the things.My creation is a
only story from the begining to the end.But i have devided it to six
parts.Because it is the easiest way to peforme and explain about our
folk music.Every part has a precise time duration.I have created these
six parts with our viilager’s day today works.
